REGARDLESS™

This episode is your reminder that it’s OKAY, NORMAL, and HEALTHY to feel like your 20s are one of the most anxiety-inducing decades of your life. If you’re grappling with uncertainty, questioning your career, navigating relationships, or feeling the pressure to "have it all together" before 30—you're not alone. Trust me, I get it.

That’s why I’m so excited to have Dr. Meg Jay on the show. Dr. Jay is a clinical psychologist, speaker, and author of the bestselling books The Defining Decade: Why your 20s matter and how to make the most of them and her new book & The Twentysomething Treatment. Her work focuses on helping young adults make the most of their 20s and 30s, building resilience, and setting themselves up for success in the years to come.

In this episode, Dr. Jay shares practical steps you can take right now to set yourself up for success in your 30s. It's an empowering conversation that reminds you, no matter what, you're not alone in this journey. <3

For me, this episode felt like a therapy session wrapped in a warm hug. So, take a deep breath, babe—you’ve got this. x

Shit just got real for women, and it’s time to get tougher. This week on Regardless, I have the honor of speaking with performance coach, trauma specialist, speaker & influencer, the one & only: Annalie Howling.

Have you ever been told to be the “good girl”? You know, that message to put everyone else’s needs before your own and dim your light to keep others comfortable? We explore these challenges that so many women face, learning from a young age not to trust ourselves and the impact this has on our self-worth. It’s no wonder we often find ourselves people-pleasing or freezing in uncomfortable situations.

Annalie and I delve into trauma responses—freeze, fight, and fawn—and the immense pressures of societal expectations, from both men & women. We also discuss the importance of embracing our true selves and why it’s absolutely okay to be "too much."

Annalie shares invaluable insights on overcoming trauma, shame, and the habit of people-pleasing. We also discuss practical tips for owning your truth, prioritizing self-compassion, and breaking free from the fear of judgment.

And don’t forget to check out Annalie's latest book, Unapologetic, available online at Target, Walmart, Amazon, Barnes & Noble.

Okay guys… we're spicing things up today. I know I haven’t shared a ton about my personal journey since the spotlight has been on my guest speakers—which has been so juicy, informative, and inspiring. However, I think it's time we put the spotlight on me. 

At 26-years-old, I've been through my fair share of experiences (the good, the bad, the ugly, the beautiful, etc.) and through these moments, I've learned and grown a LOT. I’m in the trenches with all of you. So, today, I want to reflect on some of my favorite stories and share what I’ve learned. 

Join your host, (me) Skylar, in the studio for an intimate chat about Halloween. Picture this: 10-year-old Skylar as a geisha. 13-year-old Skylar as Napoleon Dynamite. 17-year-old Skylar as a Tibetan monk. 25-year-old Skylar as Ken (no, not Barbie… but Ken). Why? How? Literally, what even? Where does this confidence come from? My motto: not taking myself too seriously. And I’m going to tell you all exactly how. 

P.S. Moving forward, expect to see monthly solo episodes! For this one, we also have a surprise guest… Enjoy my brave & bold babes !
